Aye sah....the people at MTO a some real eeeeediat
January 27, 2009. Ladies and gentlemen, please don’t try and holla at the First Lady … or else. MediaTakeOut.com has caught wind that a man who tried to publicly flirt with Michelle Obama got suspended from his job for 6 months.
Here’s how the Cleveland Plain-Dealer is reporting it:
Drum Major John Coleman offered a quick nod, a fleeting wave and what looked like a wink -- all while keeping stride -- as he marched the Cleveland Firefighter's Memorial Pipes & Drums past President Barack Obama last week.
Some might call it a heartwarming moment of patriotism during the inaugural parade.
The band's leader calls it a violation of the rules, captured by CNN. Coleman has been suspended as drum major for six months.
"We had gone over and over time and again with everyone in the band that this was a military parade. Protocol and proper decorum had to be followed at all times," said bandleader Pipe Major Mike Engle. "Unfortunately, John chose to ignore that."
You mess with the President’s wife .. and that’s yo’ [censored]….
EDITOR'S UPDATE - Just to make it 100% clear it was the band and not President Obama that suspended the man for his actions
